Last post for me. Good night satch Land. Peace

OMG, the Godsmack/Metallica show kicked ass! My throat is raw and my ears are ringing. lol! Godsmack ruled, but Metallica did not disappoint! Last 2 times I saw James he was pissed at the world, demanded the crowd did this or that, and dropped the F-bomb about 100 times. This time he seemed happy, grateful, and appreciative of the feedback, and he only had 1 f-bomb that I remember. He really looked healthy and happy, and had an overall better vibe about him. The crowd responded to the new stuff as well as the old stuff. My bro-in-law and I almost had to smash some kid (over 21 because he had beer) behind us. As soon as he got there he spilled beer on my back. I turned around and told him about it. He was with about 4 friends, and he was wasted off his ass. He thought it was funny to tap us both on the shoulder, then pretend he didn't do it. Like a friggin 2 year old. His friend kept apologizing for him and finally took his beer away from him. I told him and his friend that if he touches me one more time I'm going to bust his fuckin' head in, then hand him over to my bro to finish him off. Funny, after that the kid sat on his ass and didn't move for about 2 hours. They did not want to mess with my bro-in-law. He's got a LOT of pent up anger these days, and was there to unleash it in one way or another. Be it through the music or a beat down, it didn't matter to him. LOL! They eventually moved the drunk kid down to the end, where he proceeded to puke all over the floor in front of him. I wouldn't have cared how drunk he was, but when he started touching us and acting a fool, all bets were off.

Anyways, it was a killer show and everybody who has a chance should go see it! The Godsmack drum/bongo solo was mind blowing! I have to run out tomorrow and get the new Godsmack dvd. Shhhh, don't tell my husband. lol! cha-ching! lol!

ha! Man my throat hurts. lol! OY! It's 2:30 and I have to get up at 6:45! Oh yeah, my daughter said she felt better by lunchtime at school. She went to the show, and I'm sure she had a fantastic time. She was in bed by the time I got home. She's going to go in to school about an hour late, unless she is sicker when she gets up in the morning. Man how I hate colds. We seen her & her bf in the corridor before the show and she said "OMG mom, we're so high!!" My eyes opened wide and I said "say what?" She then went on to explain that our seats were good, but her group had seats on the 2nd level, which is very high up and steep seating doesn't help. lol! whew!! lol! It's a great thing when your teenager tells you they are high and they mean vertically, not chemically. lol!

night peeps. i'll catch up tomorrow.

One more thing, Bam Magera (sp?) & a friend came in and sat in our section. They were about 8-10 rows in front of us.

jazzy: who cares if Dick Cheney's daughter is gay? that little pretyt boy fag edwards shouldtn have even brougth it up, espeacilly during the debate. and who cares what celebrities and musicians are votin for whol. all they are is rich people. there are some great actores and musicians who aren't famous or rich or whatever. and most of them are liberal and gay supporers anyway, and they put animals and plants before people. who gives?!!!

JS_JS: I am happy to say that Republicanism has reached a new low with people like you. I am glad you are not 18 yet and cannot vote. Who cares if Dick Cheney's daughters gay? I do. Because she has a right to her life and homophobes like you keep interfering. And go tell Dick Cheney in front of his face his daughter is a "fagg" or a "dyke" and lets see if he kisses your redneck ass. Btw, in case your dim witted head didnt watch the presidential debates, it was Mr. Kerry who pointed out that Cheney's daughter is gay, not Edwards.

Jacob, with your current spelling mistakes, I really hope you graduate High School because the future of America could be looking dim with war crazed, Bible humping fanatics like you.

When celebrities make political statements, fans listen. I know you have been listening to Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson. Its ok. Maybe some you will find the way out of the closet. Did you know that research (from Univ. of Chicago) has shown that 65% of homophobes are closet homosexuals? Come on JS_JS, we are your friends...when's the big day coming? *wink, wink*

And finally, When you say that liberal celebrities put plants and animals before people, think twice. Sure. But dont you think our hilbilly president put Money before human lives? Havent you heard the news of innocent American soldiers dying?

Achoo: I hope Joe plays Rubina, Love Thing, AWMAWY and Cryin for your woman. Those are amazing ballads. btw, how old are you? I live in minneapolis but keep commuting between Chicago and Madison, WI.

ATN: No Problem Bud! You guys are doing great job.

Optical Studio: Dude, you're more than welcome. Dont let those outside forces bother whats inside. I know its tough but remember one thing, Guitar loves you! Also, GT6 loves you. When I am with the two of those, the world around me shuts off and I enter the ethereal world of music. Speaking of Ethereal, do you like the effect? I love the effect to death! I usually switch off the flanger on that one and I have this dreamy spacy sound. You should definitely try it.

DCK: What do you think about the GT-6?

Michelle: God damn beer guzzling rednecks! Your brother in law should have beat 'em all. I know what you mean by annoying bastards at metal shows. When I saw metallica, there was this Celtic Warrior (aka Neo Nazi kid) trippin on some drug and pushing people around in a really scary way. Someone kicked his ass so it was ok. But yeah, its really not cool.

Bahduh: I couldn't believe the 5th day was all rained out! I was hoping for a batting collapse!!! Wishful thinking?

Enjoy watching Petra! I played a song on radio by them the other night> OH DAMN THE KEYBOARD IS BEING AN ARSE>

ACTUALLY I THINK THE SHIFT KEY IS JAMMED< AS EVERY TIME I TRY TO CLICK A LINK A NEW PAGE OPENS UP< AND SCROLLING THE WHEEL SENDS THE BROWSER BACK AND FORWARD> GRRR>

michelle - clenching up is not a great idea... lmao...
you need to be relaxed... lmao...

I so understand what Vai means about composition..
I too get my greatest satisfaction when writing and creating music..

Rising Force... increadible and exciting playing... poor songs..

I know what you mean about 'going it alone'...
I write and record alone...
my band is just for live stuff only...

cos they piss me of and I just keep going back... lmao...

so... now you got a little glimpse in music terms of the 'real' me.. over the IUMA jamming me...
I'm glad you enjoyed it...

I'm interested in what you think...

reality - I think that I'm destined to remain a mortal... lmao..

is she fit or is she a bit of a pig...

I'm ti-yerd...and very, very thirsty...

Zinc: Cheers for the welcome! I live in Melbourne, which is approximately three hours south (by air) from Brisbane (spelling was right on!). It is a little cooler (temperature) down here - though it is a matter of opinion which city has a better lifestyle.

If I had to summarise the differences in a single statement, I would say that Brisbane is based on a surf culture; and Melbourne is more of a cafe culture with some art and entertainment thrown in for good measure.

Clarky, time to dig out your old albums.. Turner was not involved with YJM until the Odyssey release. Marching Out and Trilogy were written by YJM/ the Johansson bros and Jeff Scott Soto. Soto however was sacked/left prior to recording Trilogy and so Mark Boals stepped in on vocals. Mark of course is still recording as "Ring of Fire" today which features Tony Mac on guitar.

Exigence

Canada is nice - similar to the US - but yet different. We went to Niagara Falls during the summer of 2003 - great time.
